Grocery Haul + What I Made This Week
Here are a list of a few of my favorite recipes, along with the grocery list you need to make it! Not all items are included in the list since I already had some of the ingredients, but it serves as a great guide when planning your next trip to the store (scroll to bottom for list). At our house, we load up on fresh fruits and vegetables, so you will see a lot of colorful plates and nourishing ingredients all to be made in 25-minutes or less, because cooking nutrient-dense meals shouldn’t take a lot of time. Enjoy!
